AUSTIN, Texas -- Beloved University of Texas mascot BEVO XIV, whose given name is Sunrise Studly, has been diagnosed with Bovine Leukemia Virus and, following a triumph in the AT&T Red River Showdown, is being retired effective immediately.
Following a preliminary diagnosis of the illness last week, which was recently confirmed by several of the state's top veterinarians and his long-time veterinarian Dr. John Tarlton, an extensive evaluation of BEVO XIV's comfort and quality of life opportunities was conducted and ultimately resulted in the decision to retire him from his role.
